SYNOPSIS 


(Not for publication) 


It is 1890 in Wyoming where a 
group of homesteaders are battling 
ruthless Rufe Ryker (Emile Meyer) 
and his band of cutthroat hirelings. 
Shane (Alan Ladd), buckskin-clad 
and mysterious, stops at the ranch 
where Joe Starrett (Van Heflin), his 
wife (Jean Arthur) and their son, 
Joey (Brandon De Wilde), are trying 
to establish a home for themselves. 
At first the Starretts are wary of the 
stranger. However, when Shane doffs 
his gunbelt and joins Starrett in 
working the ranch, they accept him 
as one of the family. This seems to 
be the refuge that Shane, who has 
decided to give up gunfighting, is 
looking for. Even when forced to en- 
gage in a deadly fist-fight with one 
of Ryker’s men, he is not shaken 
from a peaceful life. 

Later, however, when the home- 
steaders are goaded into action by 
Ryker, there is open warfare. On one 
occasion Shane is joined by Starrett 
and, together, they outslug the en- 
tire band of cattlemen. Desperate, 
Ryker brings on Slick Wilson (Jack 
Palance), a professional gunman. 

Shane now is forced to strap on 
his gun again and rid the range of 
the menace. When Starrett decides 
to go to town for a showdown, Shane 
knocks him out and takes on the job 
himself. Wilson is not quick enough 
for Shane, who beats him to the 
draw and kills him on the spot in a 
terrific gun duel, during which Ryker 
is also slain. As Shane is about to 
leave town for good, Joey, from his 
hiding place, sees Ryker’s brother 
draw his gun. The youngster yells a 
warning. Shane kills his opponent. 
Despite pleas from Joey, Shane, al- 
though wounded, mounts his horse 
and rides away as mysteriously as 
he came.

Screen’'s Finest 
Western Returns 


What promises to be one of the 
most acclaimed re-runs ever to oc- 
cupy the screen of the .......... 
Theatre will arrive next ........ 
Paramount Pictures’ “Shane,” 
makes its eagerly awaited, return- 
engagement bow. Starring Alan 
Ladd, Jean Arthur and Van Heflin, 
with Jack Palance and Brandon De 
Wilde, this “Technicolor saga of the 
West” has been hailed as a mile- 
stone in motion picture production. 


The classic tale told in “Shane” 
is that of the homesteader versus 
cattleman in the fierce struggle to 
control the range. Against such a 
conflict is woven the intriguing 
tale of a farm family—mother, 
father and son—and of the buck- 
skinned, gun-toting stranger who 
wanders into their midst and cham- 
pions their cause against the ava- 
ricious cattlemen. 

As written for the screen by Pul- 
itzer prize winner, A. B. Guthrie, 
from a novel by Jack Schaefer, 
“Shane” emerges as compelling 
drama containing all of the active 
ingredients that make for motion 
picture greatness. The large sup- 
porting cast features such talented 
players as Edgar Buchanan, Emile 
Meyer, Ben Johnson, John Dierkes 
and Elisha Cook, Jr. Producer-di- 
rector George Stevens, in “Shane,” 
has reportedly fashioned a film of 
great scope and magnitude.

Like Old Wine

“Shane,” a film that has been 
hailed as one of the great Westerns 
of all time, seems to improve with 
age, like good vintage wine. The 
Paramount Picture, which begins 
its return engagement on ........ 
ie GNO so sieve ar eceee ne eke Theatre, is a 
Technicolor production that boasts 
of some of the most magnificent 
scenes ever filmed. A splintering 
film filled with the action and vio- 
lence of the West, “Shane” realism 
and fiery spirit still glows amidst 
filmland’s lesser lights. 

Starring Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur 
Van Heflin, Jack Palance and Bran- 
don De Wilde, the film’s haunting 
Western flavor is so real you can 
taste the dust. It has the longest, 
bloodiest, rough-and-tumble _ fist 
fight ever presented on celluloid. 
It has an incisive insight into the 
real, but little known and much 
storied Western gunfighter. It has 
scenery that astonishes the eye 
with its splendor.

‘SHANE,’ RATED GREATEST OF ALL WESTERN FILMS, 
HEADS FOR NEW ACCLAIM IN RETURN SHOWINGS 


Ever since the first motion pic- 
ture glorified the strong, silent 
men who fought for law and order 
on the Western plains, producers 
have been improving on this ever- 
popular theme. But to date no one, 
according to the highest authori- 
ties on the subject, has been able 
to top George Stevens and his 
Technicolor production of the Para- 
mount all-time champion, “Shane,” 
Which Stantsits: TE-rUn ss ce os. 5< 
at the Theatre. 

Starring Alan Ladd, Van Heflin 
and Jean Arthur with Brandon De 
Wilde and Jack Palance in the much 
talked-about role of the _ black- 
garbed gunslinger Wilson, “Shane” 
is no ordinary Western. It is based 
on Jack Schaefer’s memorable novel 
of the same name, and the screen- 
play was written by Pulitzer prize 
winner, A. B. Guthrie, Jr. The 
story is unfolded against a back- 
ground of such breathtaking beauty 
that cameraman Loyal Griggs won 
an academy Award for his strik- 
ingly scenic photography. 

The drama recounts the fierce 
struggle between courageous but 
late-coming homesteaders and the 
equally courageous cattlemen who, 
right or wrong, resented the new- 
comers whose cause Ladd cham- 
pions. 

In a very real sense, “Shane” is 
poetry of the West. It is poetry, at 
once epic and folk, in which the 
hard men who had fought for the 
West with the Indians had then to 
battle the farmer, the homesteader, 
the “sod-buster,’ the people who 
settled America. It is the classic 
struggle for the range, cattlemen 
versus farm-folk. It is the lyric of 
Western natural violence, shark 
toothed mountains filling the sky 
and human fury to match, with 
never a sheriff to call a halt this 
side of the grave. Such a story has 
been told many times before, for it 
is legend, but in Stevens’ deft hands 
it has been immortalized—perma- 
nently and heroically.

Ladd’s showdown with the cat-

one of the most memorable climaxes 
in Western film history.

Scenic Wonders 


Still Dazzle in 


Return of ‘Shane’ 


Snow-capped mountains that 
reach knifelike into the sky, blue- 
purple hills drenched by brilliant 
Western sunshine and sparkling 
green streams are an integral part 
of the cast in Paramount Pictures’ 
Technicolor western, “Shane,” 
which opens in a return engage- 
mentvatsenewe crc acne Theatre on 
che ee pacers Although the theatre’s 
marque will justly emblazon the 
names of Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, 
Van Heflin, Jack Palance and 
Brandon De Wilde, these aforemen- 
tioned natural wonders deserve a 
place in the credits because they 
still are sensations that dazzle and 
hypnotize the viewer. 

The casting of Mother Nature 
was far more difficult than contact- 
ing and contracting “Shane’s” fine 
assemblage of stars. To locate the 
mountains, plains and streams was 
a job. For many months Producer 
Stevens traveled endless miles 
across the Western prairie con- 
stantly seeking a suitable area. 

He envisioned for ‘“‘Shane,” a set- 
ting that would have a character 
of its own. It would have to be a 
valley surrounded by jagged moun- 
tains and there would have to be 
streams and hills and plains. When 
Stevens arrived in Northwestern 
Wyoming around Jackson Hole, in 
the midst of the Grand Teton Moun- 
tain country, he knew he had found 
his spot. Here was all the magnifi- 
cent scenery that he had _ been 
searching for. It was breathtak- 
ingly beautiful with the grandeur of 
plain and mountain blending into 
a rich American frontier scene. 

In making “Shane,” an epic saga 
of the West relating the classic 
struggle between homesteader and 
cattlemen for domination of the 
range, this scenic panorama was 
used in almost every shot.

EXPLOITATION TIPS 


SIDEWALK MESSAGE 
Emblazon the streets with a variety of chalked or stenciled teaser 
messages, such as “Has ‘SHANE’ returned?,” “Watch for 
‘SHANE’,” “’SHANE’ is coming again,” and ‘There never 
was a film like ‘SHANE’.” Do this at good sidewalk points of 
vantage along well-trod thoroughfares, making certain that civic 
regulations permit. 
TEASER LOBBY PLANT 

Here’s a novel stunt, right in step with the plot of the picture. It’s 
a sure way to spread the news of your “SHANE” playdate swiftly 
through the town. Several days before opening, dress an usher in 
the black western hat and garb that Jack Palance wears in 
“Shane” and plant him at a specially rigged up eating table in 
your outer lobby, or at a centrally located spot in a railroad or 
bus depot. Equip the table with an old-fashioned coffee pot and 
have your “Palance” character slowly sip the pot’s contents from 
a tin cup. A pair of six-shooters should be holstered around your 
character’s hips and a large sign on the table should carry the 
message: “I’m waiting to settle a debt with ‘SHANE!’ He’s 
due to return here on ........ = 


‘DRESS-UP’ CONTEST 
Plan a big western ‘dress-up’ contest to be held at your theatre 
and give free prizes to the wearers of the most authentic-looking 
cowboy outfits. 
STREET BALLY 

Hire a few men and have them dress in western outfits. Direct them 
to walk through the main streets of your town with signs on their 
backs which plug and credits the film as well as your theatre and 


‘Shane’ Sull Champion 
As Western All-Time Great! 


An achievement in the cinematic art, the likes of which has 
seldom been seen, is Paramount Pictures’ “Shane,” a stunning 
and spectacular Western, which opened in a return engagement 
yesterday at the ........ Theatre. Produced and directed by 


Mr. Stevens, one of the ablest 
craftsman in Hollywood, “Shane” 
is a superb picture of wide range 
and feeling that has been enjoyed 
and savored by audiences as one of 
filmland’s classics. 

Filmed in Technicolor against a 
vast western background, “Shane” 
relates a story that is both violent 
and poignant. The cast of charac- 
ters, brilliantly portrayed by such 
outstanding stars as Alan Ladd, 
Van Heflin, Jean Arthur, Jack Pal- 
ance and Brandon De Wilde, are 
pitted together in this human dra- 
ma. The setting is Wyoming during 
the period when homesteader and 
cattlemen waged a fierce and bloody 
battle for supremacy. 

George Stevens has taken these 
ingredients and what he has made 
out of them is a western saga of ac- 
tion and depth. The essentials are 
basically simple, with the suspense 
and action etched sharply against 
the comparatively unadorned de- 
tails of frontier living. It is bold 
and swirling with no pauses; blood 
flows, eyes swell, and bodies crash 
in the fight scenes, the finest ever 


filmed. The use of guns is delayed, 
thereby intensifying the suspense, 
for it is clear from the beginning 
that gunplay is inevitable in the 
solving of the film’s conflict. 

This story of cattlemen, who 
wanted a free range for their 
stock, and the homesteaders who 
built homes and fences for their 
small farms, is a simple and fami- 
liar tale, but as told in “Shane,” 
it emerges as an epic saga of the 
Western plains, with the people in 
it goliath in stature, coming alive 
with motive and emotion. The con- 
flict is between Van Heflin, the 
stubborn and determined home- 
steader, and Emile Meyer, as the 
unscrupulous rancher, who first 
tries to bully and scare the farm- 
ers, and in desperation finally hires 
the sinister Jack Palance, to run 
them out of the country he feels to 
be his private domain. Ladd is the 
white knight of a dubious, but ob- 
viously gunfighting past, who be- 
friends Heflin, his wife, Jean Ar- 
thur and their son Brandon De 
Wilde. The over-all acting stints 
of the principals is superb.
